NEW ZEALAND. The general election has to a considerable extent affected business. In the south there is at present much depression, caused partly by a reaction from a period of great prosperity, and partly by the low prices ruling in England for colonial produce.

One of those "native outrages" to which part of New Zealand is subject, occurred at the Thames on the 29th of August. The Government Land Purchase Agent at the Thames had, a short time ago, made a payment to some natives on a piece of land in the Ohinemuri district. The land had to bo surveyed in order that the title might be determined in the Native Lands Court, and on the 29th of August, two surveyors and two Chinamen went on the ground. They were fired on by a party of natives, but no lives were lost.

A meeting of workingmen was held on the 28th of August in the Albert Hall, Auckland, for the purpose of establishing a "Workingmen's Political Association," the objects of which were stated to be to watch over current legislation as affecting the interest of the working class," and to select workingmen's candidates for vacant seats in the House of Representatives failing that, to select such candidates as hold opinions acceptable to the collective body of workingmen.
